Sound and Light

Until Fri 31 Oct 2008 in Rhodes
Combining a dramatic architectural setting with evocative lighting, projected images and stereophonic sound, this show is a kind of theatre without actors. It tells the story of the unequal struggles between the Knights of Saint John and the people of Rhodes against the might of the Turkish Army under the leadership of Suleiman the Great (1522 AD). Some of the great monuments of Rhodes town play a leading role in a drama, based on historic sources, as each is bathed successively in coloured light. They include the Palace of the Grand Master, the Tower of Suleiman, the Houses of the Chapters of the Knights, and the Gardens themselves. The show is given in five different languages and lasts about 50 minutes. more »
